USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service reported that wholesale prices for large white eggs delivered to Midwest warehouses rose 16 cents to 70 cents per dozen last week, with moderate to good retail interest. The article also cited a Bureau of Labor Statistics average retail price of $2.27 per dozen in September, down from $3.49 a year earlier.
The reported wholesale increase suggests some short-term support for US egg prices, though the lower year-over-year retail price indicates prices remain below last year’s level. The article’s claim about a Federal Reserve committee tracking eggs is fictional.
